I buried best friend. I fixed her hair as she lay in the casket. I still wonder what would’ve happened if I returned that last call. Instead I am left telling her children about her. Gun violence took her from them, from me. You and your cheering crowd of sycophants make me sick.
And now as not only a 3x gun violence survivor, but as a mother of 3, and a Tennessean, I can assure you I this is not what I want - to worry when I go to the park or the school who has a gun and whether they’ve been trained. To live constantly in fear.
With every right comes responsibility. My dad gave me my first gun at 9yo. It came with ample training and supervision. But you don’t have to believe me. Ask police chiefs or gun range owners. They are against this law too.
I can assure you, there will be an army of another kind that will fight this dangerous legislation. And you can count me in this fight. For my children. For my best friend. For all of Tennessee. @MomsDemand#onetoughmother#tnleg
